too many MC’s, not enough mic’s

regardless of how you design it, how you draw it, how you display it, how you photograph it, how you build it, etc. etc. etc. – there will be critics.

congrats & enjoy

This house is amazing and I cannot wait to see it complete. For those of you with the negative remarks, have you ever considered the fact that the client has say so in the design of this house and may want some of these details or lack of.
Great job, Cade. Love the work, creativity, and detail put into this project

As a UA Architecture Alumni & former resident of Tucson,AZ I do have a few comments:
Simplicity & massing are superb & contrast with natural desert landscape is beautiful…but,even Tucson gets a monsoon season with downpours. Access to bedrooms via exterior ONLY is not a good idea. Should have alternate route. Also, small solatube skylights in ceiling would be nice too.
Finally, Rick Joy is a great Architect, but he did not invent rammed earth architecture.
Renderings seem a little “too real” next to natural background, but even computer renderings can be light,soft, sketchy styles too.

That’s a lot of ramming. Well done design. The plan works well.

Great work. Very simple lines – I love the floor plan, although I’m still trying to figure out how to get to the bedrooms… These guys are doing great work. If there is a hint of Rick Joy in it, you can’t blame them from learning from their past. ;-) Rammed earth, why would build with anthing else in AZ? Can’t wait to see the finished product.

Agreed…I find myself having to make that point in several converstations. Anything but “the” most cutting edge aesthetic is bashed for being boring or, gosh, reminiscent of something that has already been done.

As for this house, I think its a solid and high quality design. Per the derisive fascia comment from above, I think all I would do is drop the top edge of the gray a few inches – but thats just me. I also wouldn’t call the parti boring as it has a clear and strong conceptual influence and is much different than 99% of houses out there.

I find the hyper-realism distracting only in the interior shots, where the people and furniture seem way too specific for entourage inserts. For all I know, that may be the actual family and their furniture however…
